A big shout out to QFC, the home office Kroger, and a QFC manager named Carl. Recently I stopped…read morein for those "Top Pot" donuts they sell and to get some cash. I went thru the wrong self checkout but the checker who was monitoring things stepped in to help me (first customer service help). Apparently my card went through and then went again when the checker helped me. I caught it when going through my checkbook. I called QFC and Carl the manager who was busy out in the store took time to return to his office and explain how to contact the corporate office to fix the problem. After the corporate call it was back to Carl who wrapped things up and in two days the money was returned to my bank account. So not only does QFC have great donuts they have employees at checker position and manager willing to help customers. And one more thing, the store is always super clean and products displayed so well. Great store and great people.

This store has been totally remodeled, updated, and rebranded as Safeway Sidney Meadows. Corporate…read moreheadquarters in Idaho (perhaps with its corporate owner in Florida who's trying to unload Albertson's/Safeway in a merger deal with Kroger) were given the go ahead. Out of the three Safeway/Albertson's stores in Port Orchard alone, this store is clearly meant to be the crown jewel. It looks like one of the other two stores is intentionally being starved to kill it off. That's my opinion from how it looks to me. 'm impressed. The corporate powers took a middling store with no identity and transformed it into an openly-inviting grocery store that's pretty well-stocked with many items--with some glaring omissions. More on that later. I've talked to a few employees and they're very happy with the new look and feel of the store. Things just seem easier and it's a better place to work. I can feel that vibe when shopping there. But the big problem with Albertson's/Safeway remains that all store orders are handled at the corporate level. Store managers have told me they can request certain items be sent to the store, but outside of that, regional management determines what items are shipped to each store. Some of my favorite products are omitted. One example is my beloved Philadelphia Salmon Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Spread. Safeway/Alberton's carries a bunch of flavors EXCEPT for the smoked salmon. Why? I don't know. The Fred Meyer/Kroger store in town has plenty on its shelf. What about Alden's Organic Ice Cream (out of Oregon)? Safeway/Albertson's closed out the entire line. But again, Fred Meyer carries it. So, while SW is my preferred store, I have to shop at FM occasionally to buy the items that my favorite grocery store chain refuses to carry. Why? I don't know--ask them. Maybe it has something to do with cost control prior to closing the merger deal? Which the federal government may not allow to BE closed. If Kroger buys Albertson's, it will have a monopoly on the four supermarkets in town, leaving only Wal-Mart as the non-Kroger option--and I never shop at Wal-Mart. But the bottom line is that this Safeway has become a really nice store to shop in. Many of the employees are happy and friendly. There are still empty shelves in some areas which could be corporate-caused or supply-chain issues--who knows? To summarize, for my rating three stars goes to the store itself, the fourth star is for the cashiers and courtesy clerks who've made the checkout process actually fun.

I don't know what's going on with their deli department, but if you are trying to grab a quick bite for lunch, do not go there. You will be waiting for a while, they have three or four people working behind the counter, and apparently there's only one special unicorn that can ring people up. This is the third or fourth time in the past couple of weeks that I've had to wait longer than five bloody minutes just to get some damn chicken tenders. The same goes with self checkout, you don't always have somebody standing there when you need to get ID check or help, and even though I'll only scan three things on their little checkout, it seems like every friggin time somebody's gotta come in there and check it because the machine thinks I took more than what I had. Getting real tired of the self checkout, I don't get a discount for doing somebody else's job, what the hell? And QFC seems to delight with extra charges. Every other store I can get cash back without having to pay an extra $.75, but QFC is gonna get their due. So now I get to decide if I'm just gonna go hungry at lunch, start packing my own lunch, or go get it from some other place because I am done with this place.
